Majuba bar in Redcar closes leaving punters ‘gutted’

Majuba, on Station Road, announced on Saturday (February 14) that it had made the decision to close its doors. 

The beach-style bar has been praised online for being a “lively little bar” with “amazing” staff and a “fantastic” atmosphere.

In a post online, the owners said they had “given it everything we had” and will “always be proud of what we built together”.

The statement said: “This is one of the hardest things we’ve had to write. Majuba is now closed. Majuba was never just a bar. It was people. 

“It was laughter across the room, dancing on a Saturday night, quiet chats at the bar, birthdays, live music and that feeling that summer never really left.

“We gave it everything we had. Every detail mattered. Every night mattered. But most of all, every single one of you mattered.

“Thank you for walking through the doors, for supporting us, for believing in the vision and for making it what it was.

“We will always be proud of what we built together. Thank you for the memories.”

The closure has sparked many messages of sadness from “gutted” punters.

One person said: “Sorry to hear the news. Good luck with any new venture thanks for all the great times.”

Another added: “Absolutely gutted to read this. Thank you for fabulous nights and unforgettable memories.”

The reason behind the bar’s closure remains unknown at this time.
